THE FLORIST. 
Bull, Clielsea.-—A pretty, variegated, form of the well-known 
Agathcea, or Cineraria amelloides. The neat roundish foliage is 
margined with creamy white, and when properly developed the mark¬ 
ing is well defined and characteristic. It, however, occasionally 
becomes less decided, apparently from over excitement, or too 
great luxuriance. The flowers are of the ordinary character. 
Azalea Flag of Truce. —March 26, Mr. Todman, gardener 
to R. Hudson, Esq., Clapham. A large semi-double white, in the 
way of Leviathan, but with fuller, better-shaped flowers, the small 
petaloid filaments being more compact and even. It is a vigorous- 
habited and very desirable sort. 
Azalea Kinghornii. —April 9, Mr. Kinghorn, Richmond.— 
The flowers of this variety are of exquisite form, and remarkable 
for their smoothness and substance. It is one of the bright rose- 
colours, and a very beautiful sort. 
Calceolaria canariensis. —May 28, Mr. Gr. Smith, Hornsey- 
road.—A fine dwarf bedding variety, of shrubby habit ; certainly 
one of the best, if not the very best known. Tlie flowers are large, 
and of a rich, clear yellow, 
Campylobotrys refulgens. —April 9, Mr. Bull, Chelsea.—A 
beautiful-leaved dwarf stove herb, with a short stem, and numerous 
large, obovately oblong leaves, reddish-tinted and velvety with 
whitish ribs and veins and a singularly ridgy surface above ; which 
shows off the satiny colouring to advantage. This is probably the 
finest of the species yet made known. 
Cattleya guatemalexsis. —March 26, Messrs. Veitch and 
Son, Exeter and Chelsea.—A curious and pretty orchid, with 
smallish pale rosy flowers, having a singular flush of orange colour, 
and a deep purplish-red lip. It was sent from Guatemala by Mr. 
Skinner, and is an interesting plant. 
Clarkia pulciiella flore-pleno. —July 9, Messrs. Carter 
and Co., Holborn.—The flowers of this variety, which are of the 
deep rose-colour of C. p. pulcherrima, are made up of three or four 
rows of petals, forming a tolerably compact double flower. 
Delphinium alopecuroides.— July 9, Mr. G. Wheeler, War¬ 
minster.—A handsome double-flowered hardy perennial larkspur, 
remarkable for dwarfness, being not more than 2 to 2^ feet high, 
and for its dense compact spike, upwards of a foot long, slightly 
branched below, and covered with small double bright blue flowers, 
paler and reddish towards the centre. 
Drac^na FERRE a variegata. —June 25, from the Society’s 
garden.—A fine broad-leaved plant; evidently diflfering in this 
peculiar feature from the ordinary D. terminalis, which it re¬ 
sembles in rich colouring — the D.ferrea variegata being much the 
finer, on account of the breadth of its foliage. 
Eurya japonica latifolia variegata. —June 11, Mr. Stan- 
disli, Bagshot. — An elegant variegated shrub, recently sent from 
Japan, by Mr. Fortune. It has moderate-sized, elegantly acumi¬ 
nated Camellia-like foliage, broadly-margined, and more or less
